雅思考試中的無詞雅思閱讀

雅思考試中我們應(yīng)該怎么樣讓自己的雅思閱讀取得高分呢?怎么樣去備考雅思閱讀題呢?在我們考試雅思閱讀題目的時候，我們需要注意的是認(rèn)真細(xì)心的去看題目，然后在去答題。

下面小編給大家介紹一下雅思考試中雅思閱讀的無詞閱讀備考方法。

其實(shí)，“無詞閱讀法”并非是什么“都不懂”;相反，它是一種對雅思閱讀題的大徹大悟，徹底顛覆了我們傳統(tǒng)的“逐字逐句搞翻譯，段落文章看不懂”錯誤閱讀方法，保證讀者在存在大量生詞的情況下，還能夠通過快速閱讀掌握段落和文章的主旨。

那么“無詞閱讀法”的精髓在哪里呢?就在于把握兩種東西：方向和關(guān)系。

首先，方向是作者在論述一個事物時的基本態(tài)度，其重要性遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于個別詞句的理解。

例如：

Research studies lend strong support to the argument that there are benefits for families considering a change to a fairer or more equitable division of the pleasures and pains of family life. Greater equality in the performance of family work is associated with lower levels of family stress and higher self-esteem, better health, and higher marital satisfaction for mothers. There is also higher marital satisfaction for fathers, especially when they take more responsibility for the needs of their children – fathers are happier when they are more involved (Russell 1984).

這段話并不長，但是如果讓你在30秒鐘之內(nèi)說出主旨是什么，恐怕比登天還難吧!其實(shí)不然!請看首句中有一個詞benefits是個正向詞，緊接著第二句話中l(wèi)ower levels of family stress, higher…, better health, higher… satisfaction等都是正向詞。第三句話中higher satisfaction, happier等也都是正向詞。

這說明這段話作者的基本態(tài)度是正向的，那么段落主旨就是首句中的benefits，而第二和第三句話就在具體論述有哪些benefits。至于self-esteem, marital等生詞不認(rèn)識都無所謂了，因?yàn)楸径温渲�，除了這些正向詞之外，其余的單詞的存在都是多余的。30秒足夠你“頓悟”了吧!

其次，關(guān)系是更為重要的，因?yàn)樗�的存在更加使得單詞變得多余。

例如：

In business as a whole, there are a number of factors encouraging the prospect of greater equality in the workforce. Demographic trends suggest that the number of women going into employment is steadily increasing. In addition a far greater number of women are now passing through higher education, making them better qualified to move into management positions.

這段話中，首句a number of factors encouraging…是一個正向詞，說明在分析好的因素。第二句number…increasing和第三句higher education, better qualified都是正向詞，說明在具體論述第一句話中的好的因素。
但是，二三句之間的一個In addition讓我們知道了這兩句話之間是一個“遞進(jìn)”關(guān)系，那么其前后的方向應(yīng)該是相同的。所以，當(dāng)我們看完第二句話之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)這個“遞進(jìn)”關(guān)系時，后面的內(nèi)容根本不需要看了。至于prospect和demographic trends即使都是你的生詞，又怎能妨礙你抓住段落的主旨——a number of factors呢?

常見的表示方向的關(guān)系有如下幾大類：

表示前后方向相反：

轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系： but/however/yet, on the other hand, despite

對比關(guān)系： more/less…than…, unlike

表示前后方向相同：

并列關(guān)系： A and B, not…nor…, first, second, third

遞進(jìn)關(guān)系： moreover, in addition/additionally/besides, not only…but also…

那么請大家來做一個練習(xí)：

Managerial and executive progress made by women is confirmed by the annual survey of boards of directors carried out by Korn /Ferry /Carre /Orban International. This year the survey shows a doubling of the number of women serving as non-executive directors compared with the previous year. However, progress remains painfully slow and there were still only 18 posts filled by women out of a total of 354 non-executive positions surveyed. Hilary Sears, a partner with Korn /Ferry, said, ‘Women have raised the level of grades we are employed in but we have still not broken through barriers to the top.’

上面一段話，完全可以濃縮成以下內(nèi)容：

… progress(+) … doubling of the number(+) … However … painfully slow(-) … raised the level of grades(+) … but … not broken through(-) …

也就是說，從兩次出現(xiàn)“however/but”這種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系詞來看，這一段話一直采用的是一種“對比”結(jié)構(gòu)，分別論述了婦女找工作的好壞兩方面。怎么樣，你能否僅僅用30秒鐘完成閱讀?

“無詞閱讀法”對于完成題目的直接效果

我在講課的時候，不會像其他沒有“頓悟”的老師那樣以詞句為單位，查單詞搞翻譯。要知道，如果拿著字典來講閱讀，把文章翻譯一遍之后問同學(xué)們：“明白這道題為何這樣做了嗎?”那么是不是所有的人都可以講閱讀了!

相反，凡是聽過我的課的同學(xué)都知道，我講雅思閱讀題目的解法，從來不會翻譯原文和題干，而是緊緊抓住題干的重要考點(diǎn)來加以訓(xùn)練，從而使學(xué)生在不翻譯原文的情況下，就能把題目作對。比如判斷題，“塵埃中人”的做題方法是必須把原文和題干都翻譯出來，如果一旦翻譯卡殼，就會覺得這道題目是“NOT GIVEN”。但是，我對于每一道判斷題，都是先找出定位詞，再找出考點(diǎn)詞，然后在定位到出題句子之后，“考點(diǎn)對應(yīng)出題點(diǎn)”的做題。

例如：

原文：Frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise.

題干：Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.

對于這道題，“塵埃中人”一看就傻眼，因?yàn)樵�文中ecological, at a loss, demise都是生詞。但是，“無詞閱讀”者是這樣作題的：

首先洞悉本題的考點(diǎn)詞為unable to explain，屬于典型的是非判斷考點(diǎn)詞，對應(yīng)原文的考點(diǎn)是at a loss to explain。loss是負(fù)向詞，而unable也是負(fù)向詞，原文與題干在考點(diǎn)上方向相同。那么本題就應(yīng)該是TRUE。至于那些污七八糟的生詞是什么意思，“Sorry, I don’t know!”
